Guide to Pharmacy Technician Endorsement License Procedures in Illinois

Before applying for an endorsement license, ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements set by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). The primary requirements include:

- Possession of a current active license as a Pharmacy Technician in another state
- Good standing with no disciplinary actions against your license

For a complete list of eligibility requirements, please visit the IDFPR's website for Pharmacy Technicians: [IDFPR Pharmacy Technician Eligibility](https://www.idfpr.com/profs/pharmtechnician.asp).

To initiate the endorsement license application process, gather the following documents:

- Completed application form, available on the IDFPR's website
- Copy of your current active Pharmacy Technician license
- Proof of completion of an accredited Pharmacy Technician training or education program
- Verification of licensure from the state where your original license was issued
- Any additional supporting documentation requested in the application

Ensure that all documents are accurate, legible, and properly notarized.

Submit your completed application and supporting documents to the IDFPR through their online portal. Please note that you may be required to create an account if this is your first time using the portal. It is essential to fill out all sections of the application accurately and provide truthful information. Incomplete or misleading applications may result in delays or rejection.

Once your application is submitted, you will be prompted to pay the required application fee. The fee amount and accepted payment methods can be found on the IDFPR's website under the "Fees" section for Pharmacy Technicians. We recommend keeping a copy of the payment receipt for your records.

After submitting your application, the IDFPR will review your documents and verify the information provided. The review process may take several weeks. To check the status of your application or for any inquiries, refer to the IDFPR's contact information available on their website, [IDFPR Contact Information](https://www.idfpr.com/profs/pharmtechnician.asp).

Once the IDFPR approves your application, you will receive your endorsement license as a Pharmacy Technician in Illinois. This will allow you to practice legally within the state. Make sure to review any specific terms or conditions associated with your license.
